Have you looked at the size of the battery pack in a Tesla? Imagine a "gas station" being able to store at least 10-20 of them, as well as all the machinery that swaps them. Then figure that the value of 20 battery packs is roughly $15K each. Then add the facilities cost, rent, staffing, insurance etc. A gas station is pretty cheap overall, just tanks and self-service pumps with a stooge selling cigarettes inside. The value proposition just isn't there.

I really thought this was a good articulation on Chamath’s part and would love HN to chime in with their perspective.

Edit: Couple of stand-out comments he made, paraphrasing:

‘The best wsb due diligence can be indistinguishable from top hedge fund due diligence, the funds don’t have an edge’.

Right. It doesn’t take a genius to know GameStop will have a hard time in a cd-less world and full digital download marketplace. It also doesn’t take a genius to know GameStop will not go to zero dollars (so don’t short to that level).

Love the defense of the intellect of the retail investor and a group that doesn’t need to be coddled, great defense against the patronizing and condescending suggestions.

Second edit: Jim Cramer recently peddled Raytheon’s earnings up. I’m not a genius but they got the earnings from laying off 16k people. Ok, how many quarters can you do that for? This is a play someone can consider (in either direction). We’ve got brains I think too.

The upper class needs some way to turn the middle against the lower--otherwise how can they justify their share of the wealth? Currently that way has to do with melanin.

I disagree.

Rails was already faster for CRUD apps back in the mid-2000s. Batteries included, maybe a gem or two for an admin panel or for auth. Not that it matters, but rails new is probably faster than 60 seconds too. Django is pretty good too.

ASP.NET Webforms was made for CRUD, and it even provided a WYSIWG designer back in the early 2000s. And it was just a matter of launching Visual Studio and creating a new project. Again, doesn't matter, but it was/is way less than 60 seconds, and a lot less fiddling. Webforms got an MVC version a few years later if you prefer that. And they haven't stopped: Blazor is new-ish and very productive, and runs both in the backend and in the frontend (using WASM).

Both Rails and Microsoft tech also give you a backend, which you're not putting into your equation. Sure you can have a Backend in JS but the experience it's nowhere near as ergonomic or as fast as using Rails or ASP.NET.

Sure, if you're comparing with building an app in Xcode or Android Studio then JS tooling is faster to use. But if you compare to what people were using to build CRUD for the last 20 years then JS is not really special. For interactive frontend apps? Then it's a different discussion. But for CRUD, modern JS is not that special.

I'm curious (you don't come out one way or the other on this from your comment, but this will help me make sense of where you're coming from) do you think there are any domains where a free market doesn't work? Or is your position that free markets work universally (or less absolutely, that free markets work for almost all practical purposes and fail only in very artificial environments).
This needs to get plugged into medicare/medicaid on a national level.
I don’t have the best answer for you, but there are a number of considerations apart from the synthesis of the active molecule itself. Delivery vehicle can alter the physiological impact of the active substantially, and so the overall “package” needs to be tested even though the active is already approved.

To my knowledge, generic trials aren’t as involved as their non-generic counterparts for obvious reasons. But they are still non-trivial logistical undertakings.

And definitely agree. The other famous Chamath video was also great, but this one was just fantastic. Spot on with what's going on.

I also took notes on how effective it can be to remain cool

mathematical position against an emotional attack.

Note: I also wouldn't be surprised if some smart folks on Wall Street are now doing a clever counterattack where they are going long momentum and the short is a decoy, and then will pull the long profits and then also profit on the short. So I think smart Wall Street money will profit off this more than average retail, but no one will make out better than that reddit user who started the whole thing (forget their name)
History.

The history of the US is far more rasist then it is classist; and there has been far more social movements along racial lines then class lines.

While we have had (successful) class based movements in the past, there is no class based analog in US history to the civil rights movement, or abolition. Even school children understand what Martin Luther King day is about; most American's couldn't tell you what Labor Day is about.

When there was a global movement for class based solidarity, the US found itself on the other side of the fight. (I'm referring to cold war era communism).

Even if a class based approach makes more sense now; there is a lot of institutional and cultural inertia behind a race based approach.
> this response by you reads as quite disingenuous

It wasn't intended as such, I really meant it. I'd like to get to the bottom of this, understand what this person's true issue with Backblaze is.

> these seem like very real reasons to get upset, maybe you "can try to fix" those?

What the user is doing is called "Gish gallop". This is a technique where somebody makes a rapid fire list of unrelated half truths or misrepresentations, each of which takes CONSIDERABLY longer to address than to claim. And I've repeated explained why they are invalid, but the user just shows up a day or two later and makes the same exact list of complaints. No edits, no admitting that even one of the complaints is invalid. Gish gallop.

This is not the behavior of somebody that is genuinely interested in having Backblaze address or fix that list of issues. There is something else going on, and I personally would like to know what it is. First of all because I'm curious what the issue is, second of all I hope I can fix whatever the real issue is.

I'm not going through the whole list because I've done that maybe 10 - 15 times so far? But let's take this one, because it's spectacularly false, this person KNOWS it's false, but this person repeatedly makes the claim over and over again:

> Backblaze mislead users about PEK. The decryption key is sent to their server, and so is your password. It is not a zero-knowledge system. They don’t care.

Backblaze has 4 security levels, one of which is zero-knowledge, and we ENCOURAGE customers to pick the correct level for themselves. You can read my longer, in-depth answer to this same user just 2 days ago here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25904473 or you can read my longer, in depth answer 18 days ago here: https://www.reddit.com/r/backblaze/comments/kroqhn/private_e... or you can read my answer TWO YEARS AGO in the link this person supplied you (!!!!) or you can go back to the beginning, 13 years ago, when Backblaze started, where we explained EXACTLY how our encryption worked the same as the Microsoft Encrypted File System ("EFS") here: https://www.backblaze.com/blog/how-to-make-strong-encryption...

Now, despite it being a spectacularly false accusation that has been documented and explained so many times in so many forums, this user will undoubtable show up in another couple days and make this claim again. All the user's claims are like this. Obviously something else is going on.

I just wish that user would tell me what the real issue is. I can't fix what I don't know about.
I agree with your third paragraph about the conceptual error. I think there are subtleties to the concept and racism is manifested differently. I've heard Muslim and Arab people talk about their experiences with racism and I believe them but they don't complain of the same things that happen to black people.

And yes I chose the kkk member as an obviously racist person but my point was that pointing out white privilege is just not racist.
These are mostly tax moves, not genuine concern, in my view.

Thankfully, mine's been the opposite. Idk your situation, but I had a well-defined project in hand before I found him. I had done some work on it already, even.

When I took him on, my flow's been this: I do as much work as I can, get stuck, then he's there to pull me out of the mess I made. I learn a ton along the way, and he'll point out topics for me to research on my own.

10 hours is a large chunk, but it's lasted a full 2 months with probably a good month left in it. This project edits some PhysX engine code for an Unreal Engine-based game I'm making. The level of technical depth in it is beyond anything I've done before, so I pulled out the stops for it.

Well, that applies to this article. Tesla left other automakers in the dust "in some markets" -- and by "some" I really mean just one: the US.

Tesla is the leader globally, but the article claims that other automakers aren't even a threat to Tesla, and goes further to argue that the reason they aren't a threat is because they haven't built out charging networks. I don't see how one can reach that conclusion when in the two biggest EV markets, China and Europe, Tesla is no longer the market leader.

I'd also point out that Tesla doesn't have 28% of the global EV market anymore (that was H1 2020). As of October 2020 Tesla comprised 18% of 2020's global market [1]. Still the clear leader, and almost the only contender in the US, but globally other automakers are threatening their lead.

I think this is only true in a handful of states. In California, there's apparently an old law that you can't have members-only alcohol clubs, so Costco technically has to let you buy alcohol.

I tried this once last year before I had a membership, and the person at the entrance told me they would need to get an employee to escort me, and it might take an hour, because they're busy.

Presumably this is the kind of thing that a court would smack down, since I'm pretty sure they're required to actually provide reasonable access, but I was just trying it for fun and didn't make a fuss about it.
This is a straw man. Nobody thinks that "self-made" means that you literally had no help whatsoever. Bezos was a hedge-fund SVP before starting Amazon, so it's not as if he was particularly hurting for more funding.
I'm honestly surprised that GitLab didn't go for a-la-carte pricing where you can choose and pick add-on features as needed.

I've been doing the method in your second link (tl;dr: buy every pair of glasses between your prescription and 0 in 0.25 diopter increments, and slowly work your way down to 0).

I started at the beginning of quarantine, and it's actually been a wonderful time to try this since I rarely /need/ to look at anything farther away than my laptop screen. I started at a -2.25 diopter prescription in each eye. So for about $120 I got every pair of glasses down to 0.25 diopters, and a Snellen chart to track progress. Today, I'm down to a -1.25 prescription, although I plan on seeing an optometrist to confirm this once it's safe in the world to do so again.

The things I noticed during this experiment:

> It takes about a month minimum to drop down a prescription (I measure it as once I can reliably read to the 20/30 line on the Snellen chart).

> Given the above, I wear `current prescription + 0.5 diopters` whenever driving to make sure I'm well above the legal limits for driving (which is 20/40 vision)

> Going outside and just looking at stuff that's far away has the biggest positive effect on improving vision.

> Given 30 seconds of actively focusing, I can see temporary gains to my vision for the next 30 minutes or so

> My vision is waaay better in the morning

> I can now work on my laptop without needing glasses (still difficult to watch tv, though)

> Given the focus on what is and isn't blurry, I've started noticing the insane effect the brightness of a room has on how blurry things are

> I'm terrible at tracking data, given that I only have about 10 entries in my very basic excel sheet

> This has made me go on walks more often, which is just a net good all around. It feels "productive" to go for a walk rather than boring.

> It's very possible that this has only a limited return it can provide, since I've been plateaued at -1.25 for the last 3 months.
I keep seeing some of my LinkedIn social circles people posting their "Just finished <insert X> course". It is delusional. They hope to get noticed by people thus offer them a job?

They could consider trying negotiation.

'The narrative' doesn't unconditionally control what people do. There are also multiple narratives out there and people get to subscribe to the one they want. If someone builds up an income-based coalition then the idea of 'systemic racial injustice' will fade away in favour of looking for more money.
Reading through the comments on a few of these recent Gitlab posts, the self-hosted option has pricing parity with the SaaS option. I.e. most of the features gated to the $19/month Premium tier for the SaaS are similarly gated in the self-hosted option, and require paying the same $19/month cost in order to activate that extended feature set in self-hosted instances.

There do appear to be some features in the paid SaaS options that are available in the free/core self-hosted software, but I can't find a straightforward breakdown of what those all are.

Not sure how much cancer is from the PFAS, but it seems believable it could be a significant factor. Washing should help, poison waters, but IMO it shouldn't be there in the first place.
